Cabinet Advice
I need some advice.
Took the galley counters out of my 23 Montego to replace them and found the cabinets are rotten. I found where the leak came from but I am going to have to replace the cabinets. Got any ideas? I am including some pics of what they were before.

I did save the old ones. They are good enough to keep for templates, just not good enough to put back in. Im glad I decided to take all of them out to paint so I could discover all the rot!

Re: Cabinet Advice
Get some plywood of the same thickness and a sheet of formica the same color. Build the new frames and glue on the formica.
Assuming you have a table saw, jigsaw and a router.

You can buy finish ply of different finishes; mahogany, teak, etc. You'd still have to deal with edges but that's not difficult. A finishing coat and you're done. You also have the opportunity here to go a little fancier with the counter top. Stone would be too heavy IMO, but a composite one would look cool. Sky's the limit here!
Yes, something a little nicer. I don't want to use the old cabinets at all because of the inset. I just think it looks super dated and the inside of the boat is going very classic. Ive done lots of cabinet work for homes so I am excited to try this. For the counters I am going to do a Corian with flexible bead glue because the boat is going to be trailered. Thanks for all the help!

I do have the equipment, I am an avid woodworker. Unfortunately, even the drawers were damaged from the water. I am trying my hardest to stay away from the little inset cabinets because it just dates the boat and I am trying to make it look timeless. I appreciate the input!
